Just installed the "AIR DESIGN® GLOSS BLACK LOWER SIDE ROCKER PANEL MOLDING KIT", which I got from Ford Accessories using points. Ordered it online and had them in 3 days! This was my first time using the Ford Points for anything and found it very easy to do. I picked these out after seeing just one other post on here of the finished product so wasn't fully sure how they would turn out and how hard it would be to DIY. It's a very subtle change, which I do like the look and makes the GT PE standout a bit more. It doesn't really ride any lower than stock setup, so no concerns with more scraping. It does stick out more horizontally so just be a bit more careful when getting in and out.
The install is actually a lot easier than a first glance of the manual makes it look. Thus, anyone with just some minor car mod experience should have no trouble installing them. To date, there is no Youtube videos out yet on the install for a MME (the manual has a video link but that sends you to a 1 min video that just says "under construction", so I gave it a rare YouTube thumb's down. Just follow the directions and you should have no issues. Test fitting is key and that is easier to do with two people but I did it all myself. It's a sound product that uses a combination of existing factory screws and those awful plastic push pens, along with double sided tape and adhesive glue to keep it in place. One of the final steps is to drill a hole inside the front fender well (in the plastic only) for a final screw. I opted NOT to do that as I believe all the other methods to hold it in place are more than sufficient... but that is me. I wish my rear spoiler from AOSK was attached this good!
Below are a few quick pics I took just after installation. The lighting wasn't that great so will take more later and add here.
I did a post earlier on adding the red pen stripes and Performance Edition Logo:
